That they lost to the Cowboys at home, and looked like a bunch of jobbers doing it.
This team sucks, and needs to get blown up.
You start to look at this team critically since 2015, and there are major problems all the way to the top.
GM:
1. All those great draft picks are not looking so great. David Johnson ? Luck. If he had his way we would have Abdullah, and not David Johnson, and Marcus "mirage" Golden.
2. Tired of this small school, diamond in the rough drafting. Pick the best player for Pete's sake! Watching young QB's tear up the league, and needed young corner backs and safeties make plays and start for other teams after this year's draft is maddening. Reddick was a dumb draft pick (another small school player, diamond in the rough AND PICKED TOP 20! I was a lot of fun watching Malik Hooker INT Palmer last week!), Budda Baker was a hype draft pick (just another undersized player that the Cardinals will pay to sit on the sideline, injured), Chad Williams was an absolute HORRIBLE choice, and the list goes on and on with Keim.
Won't even talk about the HORRIBLE moves they have made with Tyrann Mathieu, who is officially done being any type of All-Pro, Pro Bowl, or even key to any defense in the NFL, let alone the Cardinals. If it is 3rd down, I am going after Mathieu because he is too slow, undersized, and easily beaten.
3. "Keim Time" - Yeah, that well has gone dry.
This team sucks, the talent is not there, they had NO CAP room this offseason, and there is no future QB for this team. That falls on the GM.
Head Coach:
I really like Bruce Arians as a coach, but the game has passed him by. Not his fault that football is now some half-asses passing skeleton game played with the worst collective talent of offensive linemen league wide, but Arians has showed, he cannot adapt to the new game. To be honest, I do not want to see him adapt, I am not even sure if I can watch this bastardize version of the game. I watched college football this weekend, it was WAY more entertaining.
As for his coaching staff? Losing Todd Bowles was huge, Betcher is getting whatever he gets just because there is still some serious talent on defense but he is a poor coach, as for the rest, well they are going to have a tough time finding work after Arians retires this offseason, becuase he will.
Players:
Palmer - Done
David Johnson - Is not coming back this season, why would they bring him back?
Larry Fitzgerald - LEGEND. Hall of Famer. Deserved a ring, will be his last season.
John Brown - Hurt. Career Done.
Jaron Brown - Special Teamer playing over this head.
JJ Nelson - Too small for the NFL
Chad Williams - He is from a small school, has small school skills, won't be a surprise if he busts out.
Brittan Golden - Would not make most rosters.
Jermain Gresham - Solid TE, but older, and nothing special
Troy Niklas - Bust. Injured most the time.
DJ Humphries - Injury prone, and the jury is still out. Like the player, but the game has to be there.
Mike Iupati - Hurt. Career Done.
AQ Shipley - Never has been, and never was a NFL talent.
Evan Boehm - Out of position, he is a center, and even then could he block anyone at center ?
Jared Veldheer - He is here for a paycheck. I would bench him right now. He is Levi Brown bad.
Frostee Rucker - Too old, career done.
Cory Peters - solid but a free agent and an older player. Gone in the offseason.
Josh Mauro - He is a career fringe roster talent.
Robert Nkimdiche - Overhyped Bust.
Chandler Jones - Worth every penny, but cannot do it alone.
Marcus Golden - Apparently started reading his own press clippings because he has vanished.
Karlos Dansby - solid but a free agent and an older player. Gone in the offseason.
Haason Reddick - Cannot diagnose any plays, little to no impact player. Small school talent.
Deone Bucanon - Undersized for the position, thus gets hurt a lot. Total waste of a Strong Safety.
Patrick Peterson - One of the best players in the league, Top 10.
Justin Bethel - He is a special teams talent, playing over his head, see Jaron Brown on Offense.
Tyrann Mathieu - Undersized for the position, over paid, and injures took away what made him special.
Tyvon Branch - Solid depth player, not a NFL starting talent.
Antoine Bethea - Solid depth player, not a NFL starting talent.
Budde Baker - LOT of hype around this undersized safety, but undersized talent has not been a good idea for the Cardinals.
Special teams - 2nd verse, same as the first.
This needs to be blown up. Good run, good try at a Superbowl. Fun as hell while it lasted, but that ship has sailed.
OK. Done talking about what I do not like about the Cardinals.
Pathetic to lose to the Cowboys in such fashion, I will say that again.
